Festive Faces: Hallowe’en – Mummy

The Festive Faces are here! Companions to the Friendly Faces, these cute characters are an adorable way for little ones to get into the festive spirit of Hallowe’en, Christmas and Chinese New Year!

It’s never too early to plan for Hallowe’en! Sure it’s usually Christmas people like to start preparing for several months in advance, but personally, I prefer Hallowe’en. More fun, better movies and the perfect excuse to eat lots of chocolate!

Did you know that the ancient Egyptians believed that after a person has passed, their spirit may one day be able to re-enter the body and come back to life, and that’s why they take great care to preserve the dead? While this jumper might not bring anyone back to life, it is made with great care, and it’s pretty cute too. Hand knit in soft acrylic yarn.
Disclaimer: not to be used in ancient Egyptian rituals!

While acrylic fibres can release microplastics into the environment, wool and cotton yarns aren’t always the best choice for items meant for babies and toddlers. Wool fibres are brittle and easily broken. These wool fibres can then be inhaled and settle in the lungs causing breathing problems for very young children. Cotton is great for light weight clothing made for warmer weather, but it is quite rough against sensitive skin compared to acrylic and blended yarns designed for babies. To help combat the problem of microfibres I would suggest washing clothes made with acrylic yarn in a laundry bag to catch the fibres. If in doubt please consult your doctor or child healthcare professional.
